Brentford come into the match on the back of an excellent 2-0 win at Chelsea in the Premier League last weekend. With the score 0-0 at half time, The Bees opened the scoring 13 minutes into the second half and sealed maximum points with a second goal in added time to stun Stamford Bridge.
The victory over Chelsea was the second successive win for Brentford having also defeated Burnley 3-0 at home in the Premier League.
However, they are the only 2 wins for Brentford in their last 8 fixtures in all competitions. There have been defeats to Newcastle United and Manchester United away plus Everton at home in the Premier League. Brentford were also held to a 1-1 draw at Nottingham Forest in the Premier League.
Trends show Brentford are in an unfortunate period, having won just 1 of their last 6 home matches in all competitions. However, they are unbeaten in 18 of their last 20 home Premier League games. Both teams have scored in 4 of Brentford’s last 5 home Premier League matches.
West Ham make the short trip to the LNER Community Stadium having recorded a good 3-1 home win over Arsenal in the League Cup on Wednesday night.
Arsenal made some changes to their regular Premier League starting XI and The Hammers punished them by opening a 3-goal lead inside 60 minutes. Arsenal pulled a goal back in added time.
The win over Arsenal ended a run of 3 straight defeats for West Ham. The losses came against Aston Villa away and Everton at home in the Premier League plus Olympiakos away in the Europa League.
Form in the Premier League shows West Ham have won only 1 of their 6 most recent league fixtures.
The win came over Sheffield United at home and West Ham have lost each of their last 2 away Premier League matches at Liverpool and Aston Villa. Trends show in West Ham's most recent 6 away Premier League matches, both teams have scored.
Looking ahead to the team news and Brentford are without the injured trio of Kevin Schade, Rico Henry, and Mikkel Damsgaard.
There are also doubts over the fitness of Keane Lewis-Potter and Shandon Baptiste while Ivan Toney is suspended.
West Ham have no major injury or suspension concerns ahead of the game.
West Ham will be buoyed by their win over Arsenal in the League Cup but their Premier League form has been poor.
Brentford will be feeling confident following their back-to-back league wins over Burnley and Chelsea and could come out on top, with both teams scoring.
